As the chaos and carnage unfolded, Erik remained hidden.
However, he didn't stay idle, because as ti passed, he pushed more mana and focused on affecting the minds of those around him more and more, pushing their emotions to the brink
of madness and watching as they tore into each other with reckless abandon.

More and more energy was being absorbed by Erik from the enemy soldiers.

However, a thousand people dead in the span of 10 minutes wasn't by any ans a small amount.
Erik got lost in his thoughts.
But then his thoughts went back to his situation.
Erik realized that by manipulating the soldiers' minds and creating the chaos, he had put a target in this area, drawing Levium closer to his hiding spot.
But it wasn't like he could stop now, because as the soldiers killed each other in a frenzy of fear and rage, their deaths were feeding him with mana, and he knew how much he needed it.
Erik felt the ethereal substance coursing through his veins, replenishing his reserves and giving him the strength to continue the fight.
Depending on what Uncle Benjamin understood from the situation, and what would be his response, though, would tell Erik a great deal of things about the man.
With that knowledge, Levium would adapt his strategy. He would no longer send his n in close to engage Erik directly, knowing that they would be vulnerable to his influence. Instead, he would opt for a more brutal, more destructive approach.
Levium would probably try to destroy everything in the area. This way, the man could get rid of all hiding places, and at that point, it might be possible for him to catch Erik.
This would fit with how the blackguards usually dealt with hard-to-find enemies. With that figured out, Erik felt the need to leave and find a safe spot to think about what to do next. He still hadn't found a way to approach Uncle Benjamin without the clones.
Erik flew away but remained close to the ground, using broken buildings and scattered objects to for cover. It worked, and Erik ca to a stop nearly a kiloter away from his original position, but still in range for him to see Levium and his n from a distance.
Erik's eyes fixed on the sky where the man hovered. Levium was still in the air, surrounded by a swarm of soldiers who darted back and forth, searching for him.
The man was using his powers to create a giant do of people who were using the skies to better see the streets below.
Then he saw soone flying towards Levium, heading straight for the commander. Both Uncle Benjamin and the man wore masks, so Erik couldn't see their lips. He was also too far from them for him to listen to what they said, and there was too much noise anyway.
He could only watch how they moved, trying to guess what they were talking about. But even if he couldn't hear what the man was saying to him, it was clear the man was reporting to Levium the situation he just caused.
Erik observed. At so point, he saw Uncle Benjamin nod and his body stiffening.
Erik saw the soldiers pull back from the area en masse.
He realized what was happening.
Seeing the soldiers leave the area, Erik knew his guess was right. Uncle Benjamin would not
take any chances.
